The Maiden & Lion Medallions — Resident Evil 2 (Remake) Walkthrough

The Maiden & Lion Medallions - Leon A Campaign

Following the successful placement of the Unicorn Medallion, your next critical objective in Leon S. Kennedy's A Campaign is to locate and retrieve the two remaining Goddess Statues: the Maiden Medallion and the Lion Medallion. This section will guide you through the necessary steps, including navigating the RPD, solving puzzles, and encountering early threats.

Phase 1: West Office & Darkroom Preparations

Your journey for these medallions begins by heading back towards the West Office, a familiar location from your initial exploration.

• Return to the West Office: From the Main Hall, take the door on the west side leading to the West Office.
• Proceed to the West Storage Room: Exit the West Office through the north door, which leads into the West Storage Room. Be prepared for your first encounter with a Licker here.
• Navigate the West Storage Room:
  • Licker Encounter: This is likely your first Licker. These creatures are blind but have acute hearing.
    • Strategy: If you have a Shotgun, a few well-placed shots to the head can dispatch it quickly. Alternatively, if you wish to conserve ammo, you can slowly walk past it without making noise. Running or firing a weapon will alert it, leading to a swift and deadly attack.
    • Loot: After dealing with the Licker, ensure you pick up any available Shotgun Shells or Green Herbs in the room.
  • Darkroom Access: Continue through the West Storage Room to the door on the east side, which leads to the Darkroom.
• Develop Film in the Darkroom: Inside the Darkroom, locate the development tray.
  • Item Required: You should have previously acquired the Roll Film: 'Commemorative' from the East Office. If not, backtrack to the East Office and retrieve it from the desk.
  • Action: Use the Roll Film: 'Commemorative' on the development tray. This will reveal a photograph with the combination for a specific locker.
  • Key Information: The developed photo reveals the combination for the locker in the Men's Locker Room. Make a note of this (or remember the in-game prompt).

Phase 2: Men's Locker Room & Library Exploration

With the locker combination in hand, your next stop is the Men's Locker Room to gather valuable supplies, followed by an important detour to the Library.

• Visit the Men's Locker Room: From the Darkroom, head back through the West Storage Room and West Office, then proceed to the Men's Locker Room (located near the Operations Room).
• Unlock the Locker:
  • Location: The locker is on the far wall.
  • Combination: Input the combination revealed by the 'Commemorative' film (usually CAP).
  • Reward: Inside, you will find Shotgun Shells x4. This is a crucial early-game ammo boost for Leon's primary weapon.
• Proceed to the Library: From the Men's Locker Room, make your way to the Library, accessible from the Main Hall's ground floor.
• Library Puzzle - Moving Bookshelves:
  • Objective: You need to create a path to the upper floor of the Library.
  • Action: Interact with the movable bookshelves. Push them in such a way that they form a continuous bridge across the gap in the floor, allowing you to reach the other side of the Library's upper level.
  • Common Pitfall: Ensure all bookshelves are aligned correctly. If you get stuck, try resetting their positions and re-arranging them.

Phase 3: Maiden Medallion Retrieval

With the Library path cleared, you can now access the Goddess Statue containing the Maiden Medallion.

• Access the Upper Library: Cross the newly formed bookshelf bridge to reach the far side of the Library's upper level.
• Locate the Maiden Statue: The Maiden Statue is prominently displayed on the upper floor.
• Maiden Medallion Puzzle:
  • Interaction: Examine the statue to initiate the puzzle.
  • Combination: Input the correct symbols. For Leon A, the combination is Ram, Harp, Bird.
  • Reward: Upon successful entry, the statue will open, granting you the Maiden Medallion.

Phase 4: Lion Medallion Retrieval

With the Maiden Medallion secured, your final medallion hunt takes you to the Main Hall's second floor.

• Return to the Main Hall 2F: Head back down through the Library and into the Main Hall. Take the stairs to the second floor.
• Proceed to the Waiting Room: From the Main Hall 2F, enter the Waiting Room, located on the east side.
• Locate the Lion Statue: The Lion Statue is inside the Waiting Room.
• Lion Medallion Puzzle:
  • Interaction: Examine the statue to initiate the puzzle.
  • Combination: Input the correct symbols. For Leon A, the combination is Lion, Leaf, Bird.
  • Reward: Upon successful entry, the statue will open, granting you the Lion Medallion.

Phase 5: Medallion Placement & Next Steps

With both the Maiden and Lion Medallions in your possession, it's time to complete the Goddess Statue puzzle.

• Return to the Main Hall 1F: Head back down to the Main Hall's ground floor.
• Place the Medallions: Interact with the Goddess Statue in the center of the Main Hall.
  • Action: Place the Maiden Medallion and the Lion Medallion into their respective slots.
  • Outcome: With all three medallions (Unicorn, Maiden, and Lion) now placed, the secret passage beneath the Goddess Statue will open, granting you access to the Underground Passage and the next major area of the RPD.

Licker Strategy & Loadout Tips

Lickers are one of the most dangerous early-game enemies. They are blind but have incredibly sensitive hearing and can detect you from a distance if you make noise. Their attacks are swift and deal significant damage.

• Recommended Weapon: The Shotgun is highly effective against Lickers. Aim for the head for critical damage.
• Loadout: Ensure you have at least 4-6 Shotgun Shells and a Green Herb or First Aid Spray before entering areas where Lickers are known to spawn.
• Stealth: If you wish to conserve ammo, move slowly (walk, don't run) and avoid firing weapons. Lickers will not attack if they cannot hear you.
• Flashbang Grenades: A well-timed Flashbang Grenade can stun a Licker, allowing you to run past or get in a few free shots.

Item Checklist & Rewards (Leon A)

Here's a summary of key items and rewards you should have acquired during this section:

Healing Items & Resources

Always keep an eye out for healing items. Green Herbs can be combined to increase their potency:

• Green Herb: Heals a small amount of health.
• Red Herb: No effect alone, but combine with Green Herb for increased healing or with a Blue Herb for resistance.
• Blue Herb: Cures poison. Combine with Green Herb for minor healing + poison cure.
• First Aid Spray: Full health restoration. Conserve these for critical moments.
